Abstract

Understood as an expression of the class struggle, the social question requires reflection on its meaning, demarcating the contemporary determinations that shape the processing of the movements that are organic to them – inequality and
struggle/resistance. In the care of both, the judicialization of the struggle, the trivialization of the death of the poorest are presented as a strategy of political-institutional confrontation with the social question and, therefore, a socio-political need to
maintain bourgeois hegemony. Such determinants are associated with the resurgence of the managerial logic in force in social security policies, which directly reverberates in the work and training of social workers and require the profession to strengthen the theoretical and ethical-political accumulations processed in the construction of a critical professional culture, with radical class positioning.
